SEED TALKS is bringing neurodiversity into focus for its latest talk at the University of Reading.
The Science of ADHD: Navigating Neurodiversity in a Neurotypical World will explore the rise in levels of Attention Deficit Hyper-activity Disorder, or ADHD, in adults following the formal recognition of the condition.
It will also examine the deficit between the number of adults suspected to experience ADHD, thought to be about 1.5 million, compared to formal cases of diagnoses, around 120,000.
The talk will also look at how the condition can present, including the differences observed between men and women, and the changing standards and recognition of support for neurodiverse people.
Dr James Brown, co-founder of UK charity ADHDadultUK, online magazine focusmag.uk, and the ADHD Adults Podcast, will lead the talk, drawing on his experience as a coach and business training leader and work as a communications director for Psychiatry-UK.
The Science of ADHD: Navigating Neurodiversity in a Neurotypical World takes place in the Edith Morely Lecture Theatre at the University of Reading, Whiteknights Campus, on Thursday, May 4, from 7pm.
Tickets cost £12.80 via: www.eventbrite.co.uk.
